It was then used up to the first store, without the use of the old upper floor offices which had proved difficult to sub-let in the Great Depression anyway. Here is how it looked in 1949. The Cafeteria signage was the same, but the 3d and 6d lettering was dropped.

1n 1958-59, the store was rebuilt in a 60s style, as you can see in the photo below, opening on 16th November 1959. This is the building that Swansea locals will recognise as Argos today. On 28th June 1986 the store closed as part of cost-cutting back in the 1980s, and sold to Argos. Understandable as there was another Woolworths store just 5 minutes walk away from this site.

Meanwhile over at Oxford Street in Swansea, a Woolworths store opened in 1923.

I actually can’t find any information at all about this particular store, or how it looked between 1923 and 2008. This building is now Poundland.

If you have any old photos of the Oxford Street store that you don’t mind sharing, do let me know in the comments.
